You don’t plan for the moment you realize the marriage is over—you arrive there, breath held, heart loud, and somehow still responsible for packing lunches and paying bills. In this intimate conversation, actress, creator, and OG blogger Eva Amurri—now a remarried mom of three and the force behind The Westport Project—joins Olivia to talk about divorce recovery as a living practice: calling it before it gets ugly, learning to communicate in therapy, and reinventing when the ground keeps moving. What follows is a story about emotional turmoil that becomes usable wisdom.

Drawing on her public divorce and collaborative co-parenting, Eva shares the choices that protected her kids and her sanity: mediate when you can, center the children in every decision, and build financial independence—even if it starts as $5 a day from a tiny side hustle. She talks candidly about losing friends during separation, the sting of holidays, and the discipline of keeping your words clean in front of the kids. It’s practical and tender: co-parenting tips, boundaries, and the mindset shifts that turn survival mode into resilience.

Listeners will leave with hope and clear next steps: explore therapy or a co-parenting coach early, treat mediation as a way to design your family’s future, and start any income stream that puts agency back in your hands. This episode is rich with divorce support, co-parenting strategies, and starting-over stories for single mom life. Keywords naturally woven throughout: divorce recovery, co-parenting tips, mediation, financial independence after divorce, emotional resilience, starting over after divorce.
